-The Next Day-
-Haruka POV-
I had just finished having lunch with Louis, and he was called by his father after lunch. There are still two weeks until Louis gets his official place at the company. I bet he will be one of the directors soon.
I put my blazer on the hook and took my seat at my office table, but something suddenly caught my attention. Gilles Marchal. This is my favourite pastry shop. I opened the box to see what was inside. Millefeuille Framboise, my favourite. There is a note under the box.
'I'm going to learn everything you like and dislike from now on. And I'm sorry for the other day. Eat well, Mr. Auclair <3'
Your future lover, Levi Ackerman :)
Levi Ackerman gave me this? How did he even know this is my favourite? Did he ask Hanabi or did he ask someone to stalk me?
Suddenly, his office door swung open, making me a bit startled. I quickly put away the pastry box.
"Mr. Auclair, my father wanted us to meet him at his office right now." He said that, and I could see his lips forming a smile, but he quickly put it away. Probably because I was startled while looking at the pastry he gave me. But why did the vice chairman want to meet us?
"Why did the vice chairman want to meet us suddenly?" I asked Levi Ackerman with a confused look on my face, I bet.
Levi chuckled a bit.
"It's funny looking at your confused face, Mr. Auclair. Don't worry, it's not like something bad will happen. I bet my father just wanted to talk about our project with Germany." He said it while chuckling a bit, and I just gave him a glare. For some reason, it makes me feel better when he's finally being his usual self with me.
-Levi POV-
"Why did the vice chairman want to meet us suddenly?" Mr. Auclair asked me with his confused face, and it was really cute. I couldn't help it but laugh, and he just glared at me.
"Let's go, Mr. Auclair." I said, walking towards the elevator first, leaving him behind purposefully. He makes his steps together, following me from behind.
And now we're here, at my father's office. My father is sitting on the sofa, and what makes me confused is, why is Louis also here?
"Take a seat, Levi, and you too, Mr. Auclair." My father said, Mr. Auclair, and I took a seat in front of my father and Louis.
"I assume both of you already know why I called you two here." My father went straight to the point.
"I'm pretty sure it will be about the project with Germany, but then, why is Louis also here?" I asked, looking at Louis, and he just smirked at me.
"Because Louis will join you and Mr. Auclair in Germany next week." My father's words make me shocked.
"What?!" I heard that clearly, but I couldn't help raising my voice and asking for confirmation again.
"I'm sure you can hear me well, Levi. Your brother will join you and Mr. Auclair to Germany next week." My father repeated what he had said earlier. Now, something bad is really happening to me.
"But why? Louis doesn't have anything to do with this project, and in fact, he's still new." I couldn't accept this. Why does my father always decide everything without discussing it with me first?
"That's exactly why I wanted Louis to join. He can learn how to handle any project involving international companies in the future. So, this is the perfect opportunity for Louis. Besides, Mr. Auclair is his supervisor." Father said it firmly. Hearing my father's tone, I know I cannot object to this anymore.
"I understand, father." I couldn't help but agree. Meanwhile, Mr. Auclair just stays silent.
"Mr. Auclair, are you okay with that?" Asking this when he actually doesn't even care, Mr. Auclair okay or not.
"I'm okay, sir, and I agree with you. This could be a great opportunity for Louis." Mr. Auclair said it politely. Tch.
"Make sure to take care of me, senpai." Louis grinned. This brat, I wish I could punch him right now.
"Sure, I will do that." Mr. Auclair replied with a sweet smile. Of course, he's okay. He likes Louis after all.
"Okay, both of you can go now. Louis, stay here for a while."
After my father said that, I just left the room without saying anything. I even left without waiting for Mr. Auclair. I'm really angry now.
-After work-
I'm at the usual bar, drinking my favourite whisky. My mind is a mess after the meeting with my father. I already thought about everything I wanted to do with Mr. Auclair in Germany, but Louis is always in our way.
"Levi, what happened to you this time?" Chloe just arrived. I asked her to accompany me to drink tonight.
"What are you doing being so late, four eyes? Tch." I said it in an irritated tone.
"I am a busy woman, Levi. Why don't you ask Edward to accompany you since you know I've been busy lately?"Chloe said it purposely to annoy me.
"Are you asking for a fist, four eyes? Asking Edward to accompany me just makes it worse."I glared at her.
"HAHA I'm just kidding, Levi. One sex on the beach, Andrew!" Chloe half-yelled, ordering her favourite. Andrew is the bartender who always serves us.
"So, what actually happened this time? You really look like a mess right now." Chloe said it, and I couldn't deny it.
"Louis is going to join me and Mr. Auclair in Germany for the business project." I said it with an irritated tone. Thinking about this again makes me really mad. I finish my whisky quickly.
"Take it slow, Levi. Wait, Louis will join you guys for the business project in Germany. So, what is it? Are you angry because of that?" Chloe asked, confused. Even in this dim light, I can see her confused look.
"Four eyes, why are you so stupid? How can you be one of the best scientists in France tch. The thing is, there should only be me and Mr. Auclair going to Germany, but now Louis needs to join us also. I already plan so many things to do with Mr. Auclair alone in Germany." I said, frustrated.
"So basically, you've been planning to go alone with Mr. Auclair, but then Louis suddenly prevented that from happening. Pity you, HAHA." Chloe laughed, making me more irritated.
"You can go back to your damn lab if you just want to make fun of me." I send her my death glare.
"I'm kidding, Levi, you know me, haha. Plus, it's already late now why would I go to the lab? Well, why don't you ask your grandfather? He always gives you what you want, right?" Chloe said, while drinking her drink.
"Your idea may be worth it to try four eyes." Now, I hope my grandfather can help me this time.
"See, I didn't come here to just make fun of you." She continues drinking her drink.
"Tch."
